mozilla -- hostname spoofing bug

Description:

When processing URIs that contain an unqualified host name--
specifically, a domain name of only one component--
Mozilla will perform matching against the first component
of the domain name in SSL certificates. In other words, in
some situations, a certificate issued to "www.example.com"
will be accepted as matching "www".
